Did you buy his game? It's the last of its kind.
>>724241937Last one so far.
>>724241937>...
The genre can't survive without DMC, it's the Street Fighter of Action games
>>724242162Zero auraDante mogs
>>724242314>can walk on water>zero auralol
>>724242314He's a ninjaNinjas are supposed to be stealthy, so they learn to hide their aura at all times
>>724242314Only 4 Dante mogs.
>>724241937it didnt have denuvo so i pirated it instead of buying it
>>724242793This is what the people who whine about Denuvo actually want. It's got nothing to do with morals and everything to do with doing the needful, India-style.
>>724242793It didn't have denuvo so i bought the deluxe :)
>>724242793/v/ told me pirates buy and support game without denuvo though?
>>724241937I nearly bought it before seeing that Xbox was the publisher
I need to finish it still. I would do it today but my friend wants me to watch Lord of the rings. So imma do that
Are the bosses dogshit? I see no discussion to any of the enemies at all.
>>724242412>get to Ryu part>he just runs in water instead of using a board>he just runs on the rails>he just open his arms and fly in the airThis motherfucker is on a whole new level.
>>724243184NG4 has the best bosses in the series by far. It also has the most enemy variety. Doesn't have reskins. There's an elite variant of all the basic soldiers that have different armor and AI.
>>724242314>Dante mogs
>>724243184Every boss is the exact same and aren't good at all, but there are no bosses like the water dragon or helicopter levels of bad so you just kill them and move on
Fuck this guy above replying to post like that gets you banned fuck off
>>724241937I bought Deluxe Edition, literally best action game ever made.
>>724241937How long is the game? How many Trials/Challenges?I already bought it but can't play, I'm so hyped
>samefagging>falseflagging>ChatGPT "critiques">Literal cheese pizza spamDoes liking Ninja Gaiden 4 make you a threat to Israel or something? Imagine crashing out this hard over people discussing a video game on the video games board.
>>724241937I did. I love Yakumo so much bros.
>>724243184i'm still figuring them out. the bosses aren't so fucking awful they violate the geneva convention so they're automatically the best in the series. normal enemies are often gimmicky, but i prefer that over boring.
>>724243959He is just another low IQ subhuman shitter that got filtered by Ninja Gaiden 4, best to ignore him. Don't give him the attention he desires.
>>724243959
>>724244112Someone make a ninja edit to this.
>>724244112shut the fuck up weeaboojapan is a vassal state of the usa
>>724243667first playthrough took me about 10 hrs on hard, lots of trials unlocked after finishing a run
>>724243296Why do they keep replacing them with "cool edgy" anime protagonists
>>724243184They are fine but forgettable.
>>724241937Give it a 50% discount and I'll buy it.
I'm already a few chapters in with Normal mode, can I still unlock MN mode if I switch to Hard now?
>>724243667I suck at boss fights so is clocked in At 19 hr on hard. If you aren't shit it should be more like 10. There's lot's of other stuff like the trials and replying on Master Ninja. I can see myself sinking an hour for every dollar I paid
>>724244647You unlock Master Ninja after completing the game on any difficulty, even HERO Mode.
>>724241937Eh. Only ever played the first one and it was fine but didn't like it enough to play the sequels. Same for DMC.
I didn't have the cash, pirated for two chapters and decided to wait till I get the cash so I can buy it
>>724244651KWAB, this would never happen to my GOAT Ryu.
>>724243184Initially, they seem hard and overwhelming because you're playing another game entirely but once you slow it down and just wait, all of them (so far, chapter 8) become trivial. Disappointing.Still GOTY.
>>724243040i support it but i dont want to play money for it.
Serious ninja shit.
>>724244803They made blocking way too strong. You can just sit through a boss's string and then mash for a bit and get ready to press R2 when they glow red.
>>724244768Bros, are ninja gaiden fans just too broke to buy the game...?
>>724244507>Why do they keep replacing them with "cool edgy" anime protagonistsJapanese society is ruled by seniority, video games and entertainment are a form of escapism so japs like it when the younger hip generation gets their time to shine. They don't want the same main characters for decades that's already their life IRL
>>724241937I will. It's just $300 here. Not feasible.
>>724244893I miss the timer honestly.
>>724244932I spent all my video game moneys on the summer sale because I didn't care for ng4 at the time
>>724244973I know that but why do they need to be aesthetically edgy/cool in some way. It always feel like they're trying too hard to make me like them which make me dislike them.
>>724244932Most actual NG fans have legit bought the game and are playing it. The only ones doing otherwise are bandwagoners of the vocal retards that have never played a single ninja gaiden game and refuse to do even though they suck the games off immensely.
>>724242314I like DMC more than NG, but Ryu has more aura.
>>724245516>I know that but why do they need to be aesthetically edgy/cool in some way. Because they literally wouldnt be look at at all otherwise.
>>724244783You did>>724244758nt play the old games
>>724243184Overall I would say probably the best bosses in the series, but it still has some duds for sure.DDO Commander, Kagachi, Ryu, Dark Dragon Phantom are amazing, arguably Kitsune Courtesan tooVeilotl, Sanzeon, Kurobo and Cetus I am not so fond of. The rest are varying degrees of good, some veering into great. For me that is.
>>724244651>optional boss that gets stronger every time you fight him>secret NG+ encounter where he is at his strongestSoulful.
>>724245683>people who didn't buy NG3 weren't real fans
>>724245516You are just actively retarded. Your taste is formed on your perceived intent of other people. Pathetic.
>>724241937Bought it on launch. Fucking awesome game. Taking my time though, finished Normal, now on NG+ hard, getting the remaining purgatory gates unlocked. Only did 1 trial and a couple of the boss challenges on normal.This game will go down as a cult classic and likely will become a word-of-mouth title. Best Platinum game too.
>>724241937>DMCV sold 10 million>stellar blade sold 3 million>wukong sold 25 million>monster hunter wilds sold 10 million and worlds sold 30 million>sekiro sold 10 million>KH3 sold 8+ million copies>NOOOOOOOOOO ITS LAST OF ITS KIND WE ARE THE ONLY GOOD ACTION GAME EVER MADE ALL OTHER ACTION GAMES SELLING WELL IS IRRELEVANT kek i told you that ninja gayden niggers think they are the center of action games and all other action games do not matter to themaction games are doing better than ever, ninja gayden games are notwhen they scared away every action fag on this site for being the biggest spergs on this site, no wonder these retards think they are the only ones left that matterhang every team ninja retard. They also killed metroid
I want to plat all the ninja gaiden games but it's so many playthroughs and side missions bros :(
Can you defeat Ryu after fighting Kurobo (Dog Jet boss)?
>>724246295most of those are rpgs and therefore bad by default
>>7242462954 arguably 5 of those 6 aren't the same genre.
>>724241937I think NG4 is a good game but it isn't a NG game.>Barely any Ryu>Level design is eh>Fucking zoomer Umi has to break the silence every 5 secondsNG4 is difficult but it's a different difficult. I noticed the enemies pretty much wait to attack you. In NG you get swarmed by all attacks at once. Anyone else experience this?
>>724246735i've been hit by three attacks simultaneously which killed me from full health. not on master ninja eitheri think the enemies are as aggressive as possible without the game devolving into shit
I plan to when I get the chance.Also, cool detail in NG2, the limbs have physics to them, heads literally will roll down sloped surfaces and they leave a trail of blood. In water areas, the limbs will splash.
>still no patchStill can't play it. Freeze and crash on new game
>>724246879og NG2 or Sigma NG2?
>>724243962I never notice his fingers are painted black, that's extra edgy
Ninja gaiden 4 seems like yet another humiliation ritual.Halo 5 masterchief replaced by LockeIndiana jones - replaced by that bitch who’s name I don’t rememberStarwars- Han dies luke cucked shitty rey girl no one cares aboutNinja gaiden 4- ryu replaced by Yakumo OC made up character no one cares about or will remember in a few years (just pay attention to the Star Wars sequel characters and how years later hardly anyone cares or buys their merch but still buy OT and PT stuff)I can’t think of many franchises in the last decade that havent just subverted and fucked up what the fan base wants.Getting back to halo now we have halo 1 remake 2 and it looks like generic slop.VTMB2 from everythinf I have seen looks like a completely watered down sanitized version of the world we enjoyed exploring in the first gameUNIRONICALLY Kirby air ride 2 looks like the best game of the year, I never thought I would say this but it’s true. And the absolute worst part is that I have been telling everyone to not buy the switch 2 because of how over priced it is. imagine my surprise when the only true successor game that has come out in recent years is fucking KIRBY AIR RIDE 2.Almost makes me think there are greater forces at play here trying to destroy every IP people care about just to make them even more miserable because it brings them amusement
. . .
>>724244651>Execute the miscreant
>>724246295There are only 2 games in there that can be called straight up action games. And one of them (DMC5) was also the last of its franchise despite that success.
>>724247136OG NG2. There are no limbs at all in Sigma 2, they just dissapear upon delimbing and with a disolving into myst effect, and the blood effects were downgraded in that one. Don't know about Black 2. https://litter.catbox.moe/a1w67ax8vp8oety0.mp4
>>724241937It's not his game though.
*kills Yakumo*This one is for hayabusa….its what Kramer would have wanted.
>>724241937I’m still on chapter 3 because my copy arrived later than the others, but I’m having a blast.Question: Do you get to fight Tyra later on? At least as an optional extra boss after you purchased all skills from him or something?
>>724247186The demon looking confused is what makes this funny.
>>724241937>his gameI wish. Instead we got some dogshit OC shoved down our throats.
>>724244651I don't know if it's what's going on here, but more games should give give you clues as to how things will go through dialogue and story, further tying the elements of a game together and give the diaologue more meaning. It would be cool if you could make meaningful inferences about what's going to happen through that kind of thing. Maybe a dumb idea though. It would have to be executed the right way, but conceptually that extra layer of thought and consideration might be neat.
>>724247578I was thinking about that Sigma 2 mod that restores all the limbs, blood and enemy spawn rate.I saw some anons talk about it in some of these threads
>>724241937Yes, beat it on Normal which was actually tough compared to NG2 thankfully. Boss fights were also miles better. Cleaning up some missed shit before I go through hard.
>>724245683>You aren't a real fan if you don't want to spend $70Good goy.
>>724242162>...
>>724241937>Did you buy his game?I'm too poor to buy his game.I'm just lurking these threads to see if there's a rich anon willing to gift the game so i can help with the playercount
>>724247186>>724247835
>>724247136NG1: Black > Sigma > OG NG2: OG > Sigma > Black NG3: Doesn't existNG4: For zoomers and Platinum fanboys
>>724248228im playing with my gamepass trial
>>724247578To be fair, Sigma 2 does a lot of things that's right and also a lot of things that wrong. It's like 5 steps forward and 5 steps back. Sigma 2 is more streamlined though. OG NG2 is more raw and unadulterated fun. The NG2 you wanna avoid is that soulless UE5 port "Black".
KEK
>>724241937No, because i want to play the old ones first. But i will eventually. I feel bad that it's not selling more
Just got to RyuI had a feeling that he's going to play a lot like Yakumo, or more like Yakumo plays too similarly to him but at least he has the Bloodraven stuff. Ryu feels strong but Gleam and by extension his whole kit feels kinda simple in comparison. Not really sure what I was expecting. I guess it was like this with Ayane too in terms of feeling samey, but Momiji and especially Kasumi played pretty differently while Rachel just sucked.
>>724243261>Ryu can fucking fly nowJesus Christ...
>>724243184Easily the best in the series but due to the mechanics of the game you can absolutely shitstomp them if you know what you're doing and they can barely get an attack off.>they do a blockable attack - parry/perfect block and counter the first hit, that staggers them out of the rest of the combo>they do an unblockable attack - hit them with a Bloodraven move and they get staggered>they start blocking your regular attacks - do a Bloodraven move and crush their guard
>>724241937>It's the last of its kind.Wait for NG5 where this time Ryu will hopefully have more screentime.And hoping this time there will be more connections with Nioh and DoA where some characters from both games come in just like Kasumi did.>Due to his nature as a Shiftling, Hiddy managed to live for centuries and is now a cool old guy and Muramasa's buddy. However he misses his old buddies since he outlived Mumyo. Mentions to Ryu how he was Ren Hayabusa's best sparring partner.>Zack from DoA appearing during one crisis situation involving a horde of Fiends descending on the city he was visiting. It ends with Zack actually beating the shit out of the larger Fiends.Would like also DoA to have male Hiddy and Nyotengu have interactions because let's face it, male Hiddy knocked up Ancient Nyotengu after that boss fight in the DLC. Nyo's reactions would be definitively a mix of shock and disbelief from seeing Hiddy still around and very fine. That and her then trying to act as a proper young lady...only for Hiddy to tell her to just have fun, but with some moderation (cue Hiddy and Nyo beating the shit out of a rezzed Bankotsubo and having a fun father/daughter bonding).
bros...not like this
>>724248104Oh. That I don't know. I've only heard and seen a bit about that mod, but I haven't played it. I know it makes it a lot more similar, maybe even the same, but I don't know.>>724248473Maybe, I've only played a little of that version, far from enough to give an in depth take on it. I have yet to finish NG2 on master ninja, only on mentor right now. I wanted to play through both to see the differences for myself, out of curiosity.
>>724248875>didn't save the big titty sex priestessWhy is Yakumo such a faggot? Ryu would've saved her.
Anons I just found out you can guillotine throw in the air and I've been throwing everyone and everything to their deaths and I'm very confused as to why its so easy to do this
>>724246295>stellar bladeNot a traditional action game. Has Souls-style lock-on. Less of a focus on combos and strings and more on parrying and perfect dodges.>WukongLiteral soulslike>MonHunMultiplayer-focused Action RPG>SekiroNot a traditional action game>KH3Action RPG
>>724246735>In NG you get swarmed by all attacks at onceYou don't
>>724248956Dude. Yakumo at this point did not want to kill her anymore.And I doubt he or other Raven Ninjas had the stuff to stabilize her.
>>724241937im on the second shrine area chapter and i genuinely am not having fun anymore. big pot aoe faggots, enemies just fucking dodging everything you do, constant off screen attacks with no audio cues. this is just normal and im already mentally checked out because the information on the playing field is just a bunch of flashing lights
>>724241937>Did you buy his game?No, I'm a newfag to the series so I'm currently playing through NG Black instead
>>724249105you aren't drilling enough. drill, baby, drill
So where the FUCK were the Raven Clan during the world-ending events of the previous games? They keep seething about Ryu and his clan getting the spotlight when they haven't done SHIT for years.
Why do non soulslike action games sell like poo poo pee pee?
>>724249256doing mysteryniggas stuff
>>724249267Because normies don't like it when games don't have 1000 hours of bloat content, but then they'll make videos on why modern gaming sucks and how old games are better while also supporting the cancer that is killing modern gaming. I stand with Ryu Hayabusa and Yakumo.
I must be in some weird bizarro land since i fucking hated 3re but am enjoying myself in 4 now. The enemies still have some hp bloat, but nowhere near as bad as ive seen some anons raging like lunatics
Just started playing the game. Is there a canon explanation for why the guy that teaches Yakumo new skills isn't helping him with his mission at all? Is he just a lazy faggot or what?
>>724249256they're MYSTERIOUS and totally IMPORTANT even though they've never been mentioned before
bought and refundedi'll buy again when it's 20 bucks
>>724249267Soulslikes have:>Exploration>Semi of fully open world>RPG mechanics so you can grind to victory>Simpler combat that's more palatable to casualsWhich is why they do well
>>724249256>They keep seething about RyuIts implied that Yakumo actually respects Ryu given his conservation with Tyran after the Ryu 2 boss. He was shocked by the realization that Ryu holds him in high esteem.
>>724241937I'll buy it when they fix the shitty pc port.Did the same thing with ghosts of tsushima and nier automata.
>>724248956
>>724243261>Bosses have 2 healthbars dor yakub>Ryu is holding back trying to just capture them, enemies have 1 bar
i dont buy sequels to shit gamesand i dont buy sequels that replace the main character of the franchise
Newfag to the franchise here. Is there a reason that all the girls dress like whores?
>yakumo, seori, and raven clan technically exist in DoA universeit's weird but i dig it
>>724249689>i dont buy sequels that replace the main character of the franchise>translation: I am a 70 IQ self-inserter and mentally implode when literally me stops being the protagonist
>>724243959this faggot did the same thing to silent hill f and in those threads he slipped up the info that hes a e33 fan. so basically its some faggot that’s seething that /v as a whole hates that faggot game while enjoying NG4 kino.
>724249689>Vanilla NG4 poster has Ryu behind Yakumo>Two Masters has Yakumo behind RyuHe is not being replaced. You shall pay for your words and deeds. You do not deserve the (You).>>724249778>DoA universeIt's called the Ryukendenverse because the game that started it all is Ninja Ryukenden.
>>724249256In one of the Tyran dialogues, he mentions that Raven clan mostly had to do illegal shit/blackops. So it kind of stands to reason why they'd be willingly ignored by other clans.
mfw
>>724241937It's not his game. Yakumochads run this show
>>724250017I shat myself laughing when I saw the finisher for this boss
>>724250045Which why the DLC will elevate NG4 to kamige status just as Mission Pack did to vanilla NG2.
>>724249778why do you fags feel the need to have everything connected and have a “canon” ? how about just accepting that team ninja uses their characters in different Ips without them being connected to each other?
guys, I'm on a 1060 6GB and I can't even switch my resolution, how do I fix this?
>>724248956just like he saved kureha????
>>724246295DMC 5 is the only game in your list that's even remotely similar to NG
>>724249010Meanwhile, I don't use GT at all because every single enemy I try it on just parries it.
>>724250348Any different from this or just straight up levitation? https://youtu.be/jFmNtLd27nM&t=252 Posting again but spoilered for those who would care about an NGB story spoiler.
>>724249105
>>724250629Fuck I linked the prior post, mean >>724248661Doesn't really matter anyways.
>>724250348>>724248661>he thinks flight is Ryu's most bullshit powerThe fucker can make clones, launch black holes and stop time. It's no wonder why an Ancient Dragon God keeps getting killed by him.
>>724244507ryu is a plank of wood that can be easily replaced by literally anything
>>724248956"purifying" the DD would need seori to diethis is the reason why DDO and ryu decides to keep finding another permanent solution
>>724241937>Did you buy his game?No, but I pirated and found it pretty meh. Will probably buy it on sale.
I’ve been busy all week but I finally got to see ayane and she looks like the greatest ninja slut.
>>724249727Women dress like that when they are surrounded by faggots.
>>724241937Nothing I have seen of NG4 makes me want to play it. Graphically it's really annoying actually, I hate the heavy blue tint on everything.
>>724250639watier!more bitrate please
why the fuck can't I use a keyboard to play the PC collection when I can just emulate the whole thing without issues'????????
>>724250742So in other words, Ryu is based and Yakumo is in fact a FAGGOT. Good to know.
>>724250321Add 2000 to that number.
>>724251101>NG with a keyboardWhat the fuck is wrong with you.
Why did they make the fish less gay and annoying?
So why doesn't Tyran at least help Yakumo fight enemies? Isn't he supposed to be a highly skilled ninja too?
>>724250767everyone is taking pics at this spot lol
>>724251435are you a shill orbecause that's not a solution when the min specs says "1060 6GB" on the steam page, my man
>>724250557??? There's like 3 enemies in the game that it doesn't work on
>>724251568Stop being poor.
>>724251101ng4 and ng2black are the only keyboard playable games
What's your favorite weapon, /v/ros? I just got the giga drill and I just can't see any other weapon being as kino as it.
>>724249727Itagaki was a pervert even by Japanese standards.
i pirated it and i fucking hate it. a lot of the encounters feel like they are designed to be annoying, not fun. enemies that>self destruct for high damage AOE>have long range, high damage attacks>will literally home in on you from across the room and explode if you dont kill them fast enough>by the way we put ten of them in the same room, along with some other enemies, plus even more of them will spawn after you kill someits like they went out of their fucking way to make the most annoying shit they could possibly come up with, just to see if the ninja gayfags would put up with it.
>>724251646game runs at 132 FPS with the "low" settings that it gave me (object detail is still on medium) so idk wtf you're talking about, i just want to disable DLSS so I don't have that annoying ghosting and blurry image
>>724251651>UE5 remasterIs NG2Black worth trying if you already played 2?
>>724251717went from rapier to assassins box then back to the og twin swords, i really like the extended sword moves
>>724247182nobody cares about ninja gayden eitherits a dead franchise for a reason
>>724242314Ryu has aura despite having as much personality as Akira from virtua fighter
>>724251550He is, teaching him how to do moves and shit which Yakumo then implements in the fights he does which in turn ends up making Yakumo more of a skilled ninja. It is like entering software development and expecting systems architect be there next to you coding your work. Like sure, they do give solutions and help, but you are there to implement it.
>>724251848not really it was there for newfags to the series
>>724250337Kureha ain't got the massive titties like heror even Momiji
>>724250737Ryu is a ninja isnt that the ninja archetype to just get the job done and to basically be dependable and to focus in the mission/ task at hand? It’s basically the perfect character type you can use for when you don’t want a bunch of dialogue and shit distracting from the gameplay. People complain about characters who don’t talk enough and people get into drawn out arguments of character x being a stand in for the player. With a ninja they literally aren’t supposed to be talking and socializing all the time or they aren’t doing their fucking job right. It fit the setting well. He doesn’t need to be making jokes or marvel tier comments all the time. He just needs to keep being a badass and surmounting the obstacles in his path.
>>724251756>I've been filteredI dealt with those same things and I found it funYou are just bad
>>724251717Magatsuhi because it's picrel but actually good. Kage-Hiruko is also kino because of the Sundowner machete arms it pulls out during some moves.
>>724252201>filteredi did it on hard with the lowest health possible in a few tries, faggot. it was just annoying, not fun.>i found it funyeah i bet you think sucking dicks is really fun too, thanks for participating in our social experiment, faggot
>>724243184They're fucking awful
>>724251550Yakumo's clan are a bunch of chumps
>>724251756Players on dealing with them just fine on MNM. You're just ass.
>>724252298why did you play on hard if challenge makes you have a melty
Just finished it. It has the most forgettable bosses, stages and new characters in the series. Even NG3 had more to offer. What a fucking letdown lmao
>>724252418you're only proving that ninja gayfags will put up with literally anything as long as they can jerk themselves off about overcoming some sort of challenge afterwards, even if that challenge was having to suck off 10 dicks in 10 minutes. truly pathetic.
>>724251756>My enemies... ARE ATTACKING ME!Bitch, please.
Replaying 2 vanilla I realize that I cant confidently say its better than Black because UT spam is so goddamn potent that it borderline ruins the game. You really have to force yourself to not abuse it in order to have fun with the game.
The bosses in this game are genuinely nauseating. Their attacks do 15% of your total HP bar each hit, they have NO attack cues whatsoever, and the further you get into the game the more dogshit gimmicks they get. I would genuinely take NGB's roster of so-so bosses than deal with this.
>>724252654>>724252372>you would enjoy sucking all these dicks if you weren't so bad at it
>>724241937I did. Amazing game and a proper sequel. After all the misturns with the sigma remakes and vanilla ng3, ninja gaiden 4 fills me with hope thinking that team ninja finally realized want ng fans want and there is more to come. Itagaki would be proud.
>>724252625the lanterns announce that they're going to explode way in advance. you could play kirby and get mad that the pits kill you. just don't do the retarded obviously wrong thing.
>>724241937So does that mean that they will start making good games now? Everything after NG1 is just trash. They tried out things in NG1. And after that it was just musou tier braindead beat em up and bikini fighters.
>>724248717>Wait for NG5you are funny
>>724252703Yeah and its a problem 4 failed to address when it easily could've
>>724241937I started it Friday night and I played last night as well. So two sessions so far and I'll obviously play more tonight. It's pretty good so far but a lot of non-combat aspects don't feel very NG-ish. I just beat the courtesan lady and the radio chatter during the start of each attempt was really annoying. Like shut the fuck up people, I'm trying to fight this whore. Seori is really annoying as well. I don't really want to give any final verdicts yet though because I'm still very early in the game. Combat is definitely good so far but it does feel a bit different compared to other NG games. I'm on hard mode and I'd say it's actually fairly challenging because I'm dying plenty. I've been avoiding the threads and I won't read anything from this one either, just here to drop some early thoughts.
>>724252768Itagaki would 100% shit on this game
>>724252935You are for doubting.
Just beat the game. Hard was pretty good for a first run, although annoying at timesDon't regret spending the time on it, but I'm really struggling to find the will to do the master ninja run or the trials or the completion things like getting all those gourd things. I REALLY don't want to do all those fucking rail sections again
>>724252768>No vanilla 3 You fucked up nigger
>>724251550Tyran is training and teaching Yakumo.Yakumo is doing all the heavy lifting because he wants to be worthy of the station of Master Ninja and the responsibilities that comes with it.
>>724253045It's called tough love.
>>724252768Nice
wind dog boss has to be one of the worst boss fights in this series
>>724253045Probably, but that's because he knew that's the reaction people would expect from him.Same shiy with him clashing with Harada. A lot of what he said and did was for show.In a boring, tamed industry, he tried to break the boredom.This industry lost a rockstar. Wish he went out with a bang.
So, what's the reason why Koei thought the graphics settings should be locked? My VRAM isn't even full, and this is on the train sequence in the beginning.

>>724253456no
>>724252768I've been looking for a physical copy of Ninja Gaiden Black for ages now but all I ever find is the "classics" one with the annoying border, I don't even know if one without it exists.
>>724253456You tell me
>>724249267short 8-12 hour replayable games aren't what people want. People want 50 hour exploration games with simpler combat
>>724248303>sigma 2 above black 2 when black 2 fixed the god awful master ninja mode of sigma 2
>>724249256Black ops stuff. And Yakumo and Tyran actually respect Ryu, so it seem like they don't mind being ignored.
>>724251717For Yakumo, Swords or Box.
>>724253542I don't think such thing exists. Kinda like the ps2 version of sh2 directors cut. There is only the platinum version.
>>724249267>souls games are "hard" but insanely slow and simple so every retard can play them and understand them>more importantly people want "experiences" rather than actual games so adventure/exploration games are objectively more popular with the casual crowd>arcade style games where you are expected to get better at combat mechanics are not popular>people like 'hard' they don't like complexsouls shit pretty much came out at the perfect time and spear-headed a bunch of shit for the casual crowd and it arrived early enough in the internet age where it took over video game memes and twitch viewers. you don't know how much people like to watch streamers and watch them LE DIE XD! to their favorite ebin fight that's solved with a single button press.
The only interesting new character in the game is Seori and I don't just mean her boobies bouncing left and right. I actually wanted to know how she got roped into this shit and why she decided to an hero after all the work she and Ryu did to begin withAnd she fucking dies
>>724253542it does but you have to pay obscene prices for it since NGB itself didn't selll very wellsame with NG2 on 360, that's also highly sought after due to the community's incessant meme'ing about it
I want to FIGHT Tyran.
>>724254043if anything what won me over with Seori is the excellent VA work in the EN dub and her personality, she steals the show everytime she's on screeni personally thought the shibari ropes were dumb as shit but when she did that slow hipsway walk during the intro chapter, my dick very quickly changed my mind
>>724254080So is this guy a master ninja too? His bio says that he tends to do missions that other Raven Ninjas can't.
>>724253448Yes, yes. Do you have the total sales, sold units number (including returns) and not just Steam?
What exactly did DDO do wrong Is Yakumo and the Ravens so retarded that they let some glasses nerd just waltz in and lie to their faces?
>>724254201Just wish there was more of her. Something I felt with ng4 is that, despite being a great game, he lacks the scale of the originals in terms of plot. It is as epic, as ambitious as the others. Feels held backed, anime filler season.Should have been more characters, more interactions.You think the one arm guy would be like the jetstream Sam of ng4 but he just comes and goes. And same thing cam be said to all the others characters.
>>724254428It was in the way.Then again if Yakumo and co explaind to them that they want to purge the Dark Dragon because they have the means to do so, then all this mess wouldn't have happened.But where is the fun in that?On the other hand they were using Fiend stuff and Fiends.Better slaughter them before any signs of corruption appear.
>>724254080Not buying the game, but from the footage I’ve seen tyran is the only character that looks somewhat cool, and even he looks kind of retarded with his pointless cyberpunk shit glued on to his body for no other reason but to look “futuristic” like his retarded collar thing which looks like some kind of radar dish. If he was the new main character I actually may have bought the game.
>>724254724the funniest part is the dude has nearly the same voice as Sam Gideon from Vanquish, so that could've been a triple-layered joke about him being "Not Sam"
I got no problem with yakumo it’s just all his costumes are gay. He gives off that late 2000s Scott pilgrimy gay edgy with some of his outfits.
>>724241937I've never played any of them, so I'm starting with sigma.Should I go back and beat doku in ch 2? Is there any reason to?
>>724255242No lol.
>>724255330Ok, ty anon.
>>724255242It just unlocks the next difficulty. No reason to do it unless you want your first playthrough to be very painful
>>724253982>so every retardninja gayden fanboys are so delusional
>>724254894Damn. That's cool. Wonder if platinum makes a point of using the same voice actors for his games.
game won't let me switch anything in the graphics menu
>>724255242Sigma 1 is fine, but if you can play ng2 black instead of sigma 2, that would be great. Razors Edge is top tier and imo, the second best ninja gaiden game.
>>724247835That is not a Daemon, that is a Fiend, please use correct in game terminology.
>Ryu can run on water, fly, and kill Gods and Demons>Jobs in every Dead or Alive tournament to normals like KasumiWhat gives?
>>724254997god forgive me for taking the baitscott pilgrim wears a t-shirt and jeans all the time like most manchildren. most other characters dress similarly.
>>724255924Hiding his power level. He knows he has to fight fair on a human level.
>>724255924The same applies to Kasumi/Ayane even Momiji They aren't really playing for keeps in the DoA tournaments, especially Ryu so he holds back a lot
>>724255924he's usually there to uncover some ninja conspiracy, not to win
this game is way harder than NG2
>>724248220I hate his new armored design and this stupid scabbard
>>724248956>Ryu would've saved herRyu couldn't even save himself and hat to be brought back to life by the true secret leader of the Hayabusa clan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wNvxsDrdRo
They really really need to change how the saving shit works, I'm afraid to quit out of a chapter after I did a mission
>>724255968You are the people I’m talking about. I’m talking about that era of edgy faggots.
>>724251101I used to feel that way, but I eventually realized that buying a cheap controller every 18 months or so is better than fucking up my keyboard trying to play games that were designed with a controller in mind.
>>724255882What's the difference?
>>724256228yep it just happened again, killed some dogs with the rapier got the quest done turned it in played 5 mins more left and it didn't savei don't want to play a whole chapter
>>724256241who look nothing like yakumoare you off your meds sweetie
I just wish they cooked hayabusa a bit more. Emo boy gets 4 different weapons but Ryu only gets the dragon sword. The scythe, the claws, the vingoorian flair, those emblematic, at least have those in the game.Ryu with just the dragon sword gives me ng3 vanilla ptsd.
>>724256228does it even tell you when it's saving?
>>724256286That's racist bro
>>724256482yeah it has that auto save thingy in right corner but don't trust it >>724256318 , guess i need to replay the whole chapter
>>724256186Well I understand why you think that. Ryu has always been portrayed as more of a traditionalist who relies on skill and training to get ahead, not gadgets or tricks. I don’t think he should ever have a bunch of futuristic bullshit he’s bringing with him. doesnt fit his character. The scabbard looks like raidens from MGR.
>>724254885Okay drama queen
>>724245516
>>724248661>Ryu can fucking fly now>nowRetarded newfag secondary, fuck off.
>>724255924Ryu never tries to win the tournaments, he is there to guide and keep in touch with what his ninja friends are doing. The one time he actually tries is DOA2 where he shows up to kill Tengu and gets it done. If you listen to his dialogue with Kasumi, Hayate etc. he fights them in tournaments as a way to test them and keep them on the right path. He is highly trusted and seen as a voice of wisdom among the other ninjas, for example Kasumi meets him when she is banished from her clan and can't trust that her own brother won't try to kill her.
>>724256424Not buying this game but I would argue if there was more ryu content, that only have the dragon sword could have worked on paper. I don’t think it’s a good idea, to only have one weapon for ryu, but him basically showing up and just getting everything done with one weapon could have highlighted his skill and how he didn’t need any gimmicks to overcome anything versus the newcomer with their various tools and modern gear. A contrast essentially. but he would have needed more content to really highlight that difference in a way that felt “worth the wait”. None of us waited this long to only have 4 chapters with ryu let alone only one weapon. But it would have been cool seeing him BTFO everything with one simple tool versus the new character needing like 10 things to get the job done. From a narrative level if that makes sense.
>>724256648( )0( ) prttttt!
>>724253279It's too easy.
>>724256739most brutal NWF
>>724256739what a faggot, THE RAVEN clears this gay ass falcon
>>724256918I agree that you don't need different weapons for cool gameplay.But at least add more moves or new gimmicks to the dragon sword.Haysbusa, for better and for worst, just play like his normal self
>>724256739>Yeah whatever bitch>Transforms into a fucking spirit eagle and flies offUnintentionally funny as fuck
>>724256286Daemon are Japanese, they are tied to their location and if they go away from their location, they become very weak, that is why they are extremely territorial and attack anyone on sight.Fiends are from another dimension and can pop up anywhere in the world, they eat humans.Play Ninja Gaiden 4, it tells you all about it and more, I love this game so much.
>>724256482it's the yellow icon on top right when it saves.

Is Ryu white?
>>724257296Is this real and in the game? That looks retarded.
>>724256739What's with J-Action MCs and being vergins?
>>724257296Kino...
>>724257493Ninjas are specifically peak autism
>>724257296WHAT A THRILL
I like Yakumo. Yakumo is the average zoomer.
>>724257482>the classic ng traversal move looks retardedkys
What Ninja Gaiden needs isnt a better story but better characters, DMC has shit story too but it's has characters who interact with each other, Ryu and Yakumo are boring cause they don't feel like real people, Ninjas protect humanity from evil but why? What compels Ryu to save humanity? Would Ryu even be sad if Ayane died? I don't mean storytelling like NG3 but rather like DMC3 where the characters in the game actually interact with eachother
>>724257549That means I am a ninja?
>>724257493She's a gaijin. Ryu won't tarmish his mighty cock with such scum.
>>724257193>Play Ninja Gaiden 4>I love this game so much.Based
>>724257118Both the Raven and the Falcon will fly together and fight together in the TWO MASTERS DLC, it will be kino of the highest level. An almost endless army of demons vs 2 Master Ninjas, back to back, fighting for a better future.
>>724257646Can you transform into a massive dragon?
>>724254782>if Yakumo and co explaind to them that they want to purge the Dark Dragon because they have the means to do so, then all this mess wouldn't have happened.DDO has two leaders, Kagachi and the political leader. They wouldn't willingly give up their power and release the dark dragon trusting solely on this one Raven ninja being able to kill it.If the Dark Dragon is killed and Tokyo freed then DDO loses all meaning, they don't have any leverage over Tokyo anymore, no money coming in, all political strength evaporates.I think the ending credits fight is showing the DDO desperately grasping on to what little power they have left. They've turned into a mercenary group at best.
>>724257680The mighty 3.5 inch cock?
>>724257646With a little patience and training, yes. Autism must be honed.
Yakumo chads WW@?
>>724257778Reasonable.>MercsOr find something else to guard over.The underworld is like a holed cheese at this point.

>>724257680Anon, his wife is white...
>>724257706Yakumo’s gonna cuck Ryu again, he’ll probably get more chapters this time too.
>>724257642I don't talk to anyone but I'd still save the world if it depended on me. Just the sense of duty and being good.
>>724257942He doesn't look fine, is he okay?
>>724257997>>724257996Wait, didn't her asian gf died in 1 (and again in 2 somehow)?It has been ages since I played it.

>>724257996Those ballistics man...
I heard it had no level design, i dont play boss rush slop
>>724241937>his gameI didn't buy the game because it ISN'T his game.
I'm probably VERY late to this realisation, but I just noticed that OTs do not break your dodge offset. So if your string has high delimb rate after the launcher, if you hit confirm the delimb into a dodge offset, you can instead of "wasting" the string with the OT, or delay the string to not get the OT but get the same result, simply dodge offset after delimb, OT, and then launch the next enemy by inputting Y. And it remains stored for however long you keep dodging. If you jump it's over, but you can spam dodge on the ground for as long as you want and keep the launcher.Useful for weapons that have long strings before launching like the staff.
>>724258195
>>724257642Ryu doesn't really need a motivation. I'd argue that's actually enough a noveltyRyu believes in his own strength and training, he doesn't have any specific turning point, for why he does it. He just goes because he knows someone has to take it up.
>>724258148His.Yes, Ryu's childhood friend died.Doesn't mean he can't go find happiness.Her death however is a lesson he took to heart. Nevermore a loved one of his will suffer.
>>724257763Well, I'm massive.
>Fuck off Hayabusa. I will complete my mission!
>>724258263Literally build to increase the Hayabusa Clan by a large margin with Ryu.
>>7242576423 does exactly what you want and you're hating on it. Vanilla went overboard with the soldiers begging for mercy in unskippable scenes, but RE has a nice balance. Great game, great story.4 is not too bad either, I think people were just expecting DMC3 for some reason but it's at least several times better than 2 in story.
>>724241937Pirated, beated, never gonna play it again. Even a sale price of like 30-40$ is a lot for this. Also reused bosses and chapters are trash.
>>724258449I miss 2's globetrotting4 feels very small
>>724241937I bought the Deluxe and watched Caleb play it instead while I played Pokemon.
>>724258259If you want to launch with the staff just do 360X/360brX/brA. Much more reliable.
>>724258492Played on HERO btw
>>724258263Sex
>>724241937Loving it and it's kicking my ass. Don't really get when to use the blood form. Might need to go down to normal.
Is Ninja Gaiden 4 appreciators the silent NG3RE enjoyers? Or is it anons entirely new to the series?
>>724257706Man, Yakumo is so much cooler than Ryu it’s not even funny, Ryu looks like he’s on roids or something lmao
>>724258536The dragon's husk is literally on Tokyo. Where else would they go?
>>724258259To clarify, the inputs look like XX - dodge offset - OT - Y?
TRVTH NUKE: It's time to admit that Ninja Gaiden was never good and DMC mogged it to oblivion
>>724252136Scorpion/Sub-Zero are inspired by ninjas and they're also extremely serious and focused on their missions. That doesn't stop them from interacting with other characters or having their own convictions. Ryu genuinely feels autistic like a bad shonen protagonist.
>>724258738
>>724258627how do you launch with brA? my enemies stay on the ground, am I stupid?
>>724258762This entire series has handwavey dumb bullshit, they could have rationalized anything.They also reuse locations, I wouldve just preferred more variety.
>>724258492>Also reused bosses and chapters are trash.They are some of the best chapters of the game. Not only do you get to play as Ryu who is stronger than Yakumo, but you also know the bosses and totally dominate them, it was a perfectly executed display of the difference in power between Ryu and Yakukmo, via both in game difference and the 4th wall breaking difference of player experience being better, truly masterful stuff by Platinum Games. Then comes Chapter 18 which is a love letter to all the fans of Ryu Hayabusa and Ninja Gaiden.You couldn't comprehend these things because you didn't play the previous games. You will never experience what I and other true fans experienced.
I think I've been putting off Ninja Gaiden for longer than any other series I've intended to get around to someday, I should really get the Master collection or whatever whenever I have some time.
>>724258738Love Black, love Sigma, love 2, love 3RE, love 4, simple as.
>>724258894I am stupid. brA doesn't launch.
>>724258832Yeah, that will give you the Y from XXY after the OT in your example. Keep holding the LB during the OT, of course.
>>724258887I am the DMC playing the series for real for the first time and loving it.
>>724258951yeah the reused levels and bosses felt infinitely better than an actual unfinished game like dmc4
>>724241937I did boughtened it, happy to help my fellow ninjas
>>724257921>>724258049>>724258282>>724258449Gameplay aside DMC is very enjoyable because the characters are actually characters, you can picture Dante just existing and living his life in between the games, you cannot do with Ninja Gaiden, Dante would totally go to the movies with Nero or shoping with Lady, you cannot say the same for Ryu because he isnt a character, Ryu ceases to exist when the game ends he materializes when the next game begins, DMC is memorable and Ninja Gaiden isnt, NG has a whole cast of Ninjas from Ayane to Hayate to Momiji to Kasumi yet they refused to show interactions between these characters which makes the experience forgettable aside from gameplay, the closest we've seen to Ryu having a personality is in DOA 5 when he ignores the nInja code and helps Kasumi, we need more of that
>>724258738OG NG2 Itagaki dickriders are people that only jerk off one game and shouldn't be confused as fans of the series
>>724258756That is a how proper man looks when he eats raw meat since early childhood and does physical combat training. Yakumo relies too much on modern technology and modern diet, which holds him back.
Finishes chapter 3.Man, this feels like the Scarlet Nexus sequel I have never gotten (and probably never will).
>>724256739Before RE4 Leon we had Ryu GODbussy.
>>724259161When I think about what Ryu does in between games its spending all his time doing those one legged stands on logs sticking out of a pond and jumping between them for six hours a day. I think that's what Itagaki intended.
>>724257474He's Jomon which is basically white but actually cool.
>>724258887Nice try, but you are not fooling anyone NG3:RE subhuman. NGB > NG4 > NGII >>> Dogshit >>> NG3:RE.>>724259109Have fun bro.
so what mechanics are other action games going to rip off from ng4 now that its stealing the show?
I hate blood raven mode. It just feels yucky to have to press a mode change button. Extra yucky when you use the classic control scheme and you have R1+R2+∆/[] type of shit.
>>724259408Big titted priests and ninjas.
>>724259192Yakumo will probably grow to be a stronger ninja than Ryu, he’s done way more in his first game than Ryu did in NGB. It’s actually impressive he hasn’t jobbed even once, even Ryu fucking jobbed to Doku, while Yakumo almost beat Ryu, arguably at his peak, despite being just a teenager
Is KT not porting the original NG2 to PC a lost source code scenario or more a "we want to force you to play our version" scenario.
>>724259505you don't need to hold A or RT when in bloodraven to do their skills, they're basically stances you go into
>>724259408NG4 really didn’t bring anything new to the table. Bloodraven is just Nero’s EX moves but more versatile and convenient to pull off.
>>724259408S-P-E-E-DI almost feel bad for boomers, no way they can catch on.
>>724259161I think 3 did that, with him wanting to start a family and shit. I thought it was good. I also like how 4 builds up his legend from an outside perspective. You're right that for the most part Ryu is nothing but THE MASTER NINJA, but 4 shows what that looks like from other people's perspective, he's a living legend, him showing up and telling people that he showed up is like the gods descending to fight among humans in other stories. Kind of cool.
>>724258738The favourite game of NG4 director is NGII. NG4 is the only NG game that puts me in the same mental state and gameplay flow that NGII does. I love NG4.NG3:RE is dogshit.
>>724259161You can't watch the way Ryu poses after that slap and tell me he doesn't have a personality
>>724259161>you cannot do with Ninja GaidenI can, he eats apples, drinks water, and slays black spider ninjas
You posers I mean gamerdads I mean Ninja Gaiden fans should watch the 1969 anime The Legend of Ninja Kamui. I'm not sure where the manga artist got his inspiration from, but it seems to be the origin of all the classic ninja stuff in videogames today Izuna drop/substitutionhttps://tubitv.com/tv-shows/200179046/s01-e02-izuna-drop

>>724259095Sick, got it working. Thanks
>>724259703ok, tell me what site online
>>724259543>while Yakumo almost beat RyuIf you can't tell that Ryu was holding back, then you are retarded.
You dont really need more to Ryu than super ninja who answers the call when he needs toDoes Devil May Cry and Godhand just have so much sway over character action fags that every protagonist needs to be over the top and wacky?
>>724241937This game would’ve sold way more if it had been made in partnership with Sony, but no, the Cuckbox had to step in and ruin everything. Now we’re never getting a sequel. Fuck you, Phil Spencer, the biggest cancer in the gaming world
>>724257862

>>724259580It is much more sinister than that. Koei Tecmo are literally evil.
>>724260032
>>724259913He was holding back, but it was still pretty impressive, even Ryu was surprised
>>724259934>the Cuckbox had to step in and ruin everything. Now we’re never getting a sequel. Fuck you, Phil Spencer, the biggest cancer in the gaming worldWe only ended up getting a NG4 because xbox paid for it. They funded a good game for once
>>724260131You can tell Spencer loves J-Action games because he tried to have Kamiya make that cancelled game and even ten years later after that fiasco, he funded NG4.
>>724259808>RE is underrated
>>724260120Right, holding back but Ryu didn't just allow him to win, Yakumo got him off balance and had the upper hand in one exchange. After seeing that Ryu was probably thinking 'Yeah this kid is gonna wipe his ass with the Dark Dragon'
>>724258964Have fun anon
Caved in and got a used xbox 360 to play NG2. Can't deal with the audio fuckery on xenia anymore and it doesn't look like it's getting fixed anytime soon. Was a retard to give away my old 360 years ago.
>>724259808>RE is underratedLmao
>>724259161Trvke. Ninja Gaiden has always wasted the potential of its characters. There are no "character moments" that make you feel like you know and understand these people, the only characters who I think establish identities like that for themselves and always give a little satisfaction every time they show up and behave predictably are Muramasa (feeble old man who is actually a fucking god and helps at just the right moment in simple, unassuming ways) and Ayane (uptight bitch who teases and talks shit but does the right thing at the end).Dragon Sword, the spin off game, does a nice job at introducing a cast of side characters for Ryu to connect with, with simple but distinct personalities (e.g. Momiji as Ryu's apprentice who works hard to live up to her dead sister's role while being Ryu's sidekick, a kid who reads books all the time and overexplains things, kid who makes weird ninja weapons, lady who is an archery master, old guy who can be trusted to run things at the village in Ryu's absence) but all of them only appear for one mission in NG3 and then never again.
>>724243959The NG2fag is truly unhinged. Hope he gets vanned for the cheesy spam.
>>724260326>>724260423Unmitigated ludokino
>>724260120>even Ryu was surprisedNo, he wasn't. He was relieved that finally a Ninja of the Raven clan answered the call. He was very calm.
>>724260415>360Should have bought a Series S. 360 is the noisest console in existence, I can't believe people was ok with it.

Is it true that NG4 takes place after the NES games?Does that mean Ryu canonically slipped on a banana?
>>724260502Yes, just make them cutscenes you can skip in repeated playthroughs and no one will complain, who didnt like Ryu and Momiji team up in 3 no one we all loved watching Momiji and Ryu fighting together more of that and with all the ninjas
>>724259161Die from cancer DMC RETARD normalfag, we don't need "le deep story" and "le deep characters" in Ninja Gaiden, this is a pure action game, fuck off to your normalfag games.>>724260502Samefag son of a whore, I shit in your mouth, die.
>>724260674He did it on purpose ok!
>>724258259>>724259827>OT-offsetSounds busted alright.
>>724260818Ow the edge
>>724260824His defense was full of bananas.
>>724260749>Who didn't like Ryu and Momiji teaming upMe. Ryu is a oneman army, he shouldn't team up with anyone. He got to where he is on his own. 3 story is trash and movieshit. We don't need that in ninja gaiden. They should take more inspirations from the batman arkham games story and writing instead.
>>724248649holy kino
We lost ninja bros..
>>724260674Even a master ninja has bad days.
>>724260663It is not cope, you are just a low iq subhuman who doesn't pay attention to the game. Ryu literally says at the start of the game "but no Raven Ninja has answered the call". Then when Yakumo is able to pass his test, he says "I see...", in a relieved manner, and throws him the key to restoring the Dark Dragon Blade, just like Seori wanted.
>>724260818DMC isnt deep retard but it does have memorable moments with memorable characters, NG could benefit a lot by having the same with the characters they already have but refuse to show
>>724260502I actually think 4 did pretty well with it's smaller character moments. The short conversations you can have with the Raven team and mid mission chatter go a long way. I really enjoyed seeing how differently Yakumo and Seori act around each other vs others.
>>724260983Nta but when did Ryu get the title of master ninja anyway? He definitely wasn't one in 1, and I don't think he was one in 2 either?
>>724260940EXCEPTIONALLY BASED.Ninja Gaiden 3 and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge are truly a blight upon the Ninja Gaiden IP and franchise.
>>724256186the scabbard is pretty much the same as before, it just has holster now, which I admit looks pretty dumb
>>724257493It’s a shame, Ryu’s got almost a whole harem and still does nothing, and if I’m not mistaken, even Ayane’s got a crush on him
>>724244651im glad im not the only one this happened to
>>724261207The rail holster is cool as fuck imo.
>>724242314When are we going to pass this zoomer faggot one new buzzword a month phase?
>>724242173Tekken did just fine without Street Fighter making a game for like 15 years
>>724256564But the spear gun and invendiary shurikens!
>>724260818Story is a huge part of every game because it determines how everything you see in the game is gonna look. Like if NG, instead of having Rachel, had an ugly Indian dude in that role instead, that would affect the game greatly, and it's a story decision. If Ryu fought with a baseball bat instead of a katana, that would be awful, that's a story decision.
>>724258738I'm playing through vanilla 3 right now and I'm not having the worst time. It's about on the level of sigma 2, maybe just below because you have so little strings and don't get new ones. But boy do I fucking love sliding into enemies and watching them fly up so they can land on my sword, and I love that you can see the enemies in the mouth of your dragon ninpo.I understand why most hate it, there is so much shit wrong with it, from the bosses having no lifebars, to even more and extended walkietalkie segments, to worse kunai climbing qtes, it's a mess. But holy shit does it make me appreciate Razors Edge, which I already enjoyed quite a bit, beating it 5 times, 2x on UN.I beat 4 on normal in a day, stages feel too long, bosses too fair, but the violence is on point and the game is good up till ch13 boss, kagachi, and from him the game is amazing, Ryu (while extremely gutted in terms of moveset) is such a monster and the finale is great. It's nice to have another NG to work on, I tried a bit of non NG+ MN, and it is pretty fierce, but in CC with Ryu it's not even as difficult as 3RE UN lmao, and I'm not even using the retard crutches like the enemy awarness circle and the strong attack indicator, so considering those exist, and NG+ MN is available, anybody who thinks this is going to be the hardest MN (looking at you fiend bussy) is delusional.I hope you niggers are having as much fun as I am
>>724261268Got her sights on new prey now.
First I thought those purple lanterns weren't so bad until I had to fight 40 of 'em.
The hammer fucking sucks so far for me.
>>724260326actual kino>>724260423actual sovl
>>724261880when have hammers ever been good in any game lol?
I'm scared of touching it..
Ayane is hot as shit in this game. That outfit makes no sense
>unlocked the staff weapon>ninja mode activatedholy f*ck bwos.... this game finally went from a 0/10 dogshit game to a 6/10 mid gameplatinum fucked up so bad. everything i hate about this game reeks of platinum, the only good moments are when I get the the real OG itagaki touches
>>724259161>you cannot do with Ninja Gaidenand there is nothing wrong with that. It's a damn ninja game you don't need to be able to imagine these guys cracking open beers together or whatever the fuck.>DMC is memorable and Ninja Gaiden isntNah I'd argue that NG being all business makes it memorable and gives it it's own niche. Especially with how writing in general is these days.
>>724241937It's not Ninja Gaiden without Itagaki.
>>724261726Ninja Gaiden Black, Ninja Gaiden II and ESPECIALLY Ninja Gaiden 4, have superb stories for an action-game, they achieve everything a good action-game story should achieveFuck off retarded normal fag, go back to your Witcher 3.
>>724261981monstie hunter
>>724261806I only remember fighting a ton in that one Purgatory. If that's the case, the small arena helps a lot. If you're not going no-items for your purgatory run, pop an Attack Buff item and every single BR A->X or BR Horizontal Launch->Y with the first weapon will instakill any it touches. Just enough damage.>>724261880I love it, it's like Bloodborne's Boom Hammer but with an actually good moveset and Exceed.
>>724260818Dude I can smell your indianness through the screen
>>724241937Just beat it, it was was pretty great but not replaying until they add playable Ayane I don't understand why they added some edgy emo kid protag when Ayane already exist.
>>724261880>>724261880You gotta use the unlockable Bloodbath triggering super moves and learn to get the booster working. I was told this>Release as it hits to Rocketboost a heavy>Release BEFORE the animation ends to rocketboost a lightI still can't get lights to work.>>724262237>I love it, it's like Bloodborne's Boom Hammer but with an actually good moveset and Exceed.Please explain the Light Hammer Exceed
>>724262158Don't make me tap the sign.
Yakumo looks like a straight ripoff of nameless from kof at times in his blood raven form
>>724249267they sell perfectly well, actuallyNGfags will come up with 999999 verifiably incorrect justifications for the low success of their franchise before even remotely considering "maybe its just not considered as fun and has less things to offer"
>>724262185Based. If a video game story isn't wannabe Hollywood Oscar bait a lot of these people just dismiss them outright. Ninja Gaiden 4 had a great story that served it's purpose very well.
>>724262334meme game
Man I suck at Yakumo, I can't even get S ranks... I need my nigga Ryu.
>>724262124>Especially with how writing in general is these days.That is true, Yakumo certainly won over a bunch of people for being an earnest mid 00s edgy fuck. People are finally getting tired of irony poisoning and marvel quips. DMC predates that shit, but gets caught in the crossfire nowadays.
>>724261727Why would you play on normal instead of hard when you have prior experience with Ninja Gaiden?
>chapter 1 Yakumo on hard with no items>50 deaths>try again with items>2 deathsUsing items is literally cheating.
>>724260940>He got to where he is on his ownNevermind that Ayane was watching him every step of the way in NG1 and literally throwing instructions at him the whole time, or how he gets his ass beat in Dragon Sword and only wins because Momiji endures torture to give him the eye of the dragon sword, or Ayane getting him the eye again in NG2
>>724260940>Me. Ryu is a oneman army, he shouldn't team up with anyone. He got to where he is on his own. 3 story is trash and movieshit. We don't need that in ninja gaiden. They should take more inspirations from the batman arkham games story and writing instead.>>724261158>EXCEPTIONALLY BASED. >>Ninja Gaiden 3 and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge are truly a blight upon the Ninja Gaiden IP and franchise
>>724262185truth nuke
>>724242162>>724248220Hearing Ryu say this meant so much to meThank you
>>724262160I just always release as it hits for lights too, it's just that certain parts of each string may already have multiple hits even without holding, and if that's the case, you want to release on the last one, not the first.
NIGGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>724262386lategame bosses are infinitely less braindead than any ng4 boss
Sekiro mogs all those games fight me
>>724262124It makes it forgettable, characters are more important than story and NG doesnt use it's own character
>>724262539Sekiro would not survive a Tonfa UT from Ryu.
>>724262287If you just hold and don't release while hitting the air you'll see the effect and sound indicating when you should be releasing, if you'd rather learn the animation, but just going by when it hits is a good rule of thumb.
>>724249524He's a figment of Yakumo's imagination.
The hell is he smiling about?!?
Please tell me how to fight those fishes? They keep biting me even when i dodge or block and i die. Trial 6 btw
>>724262740He knows he's gonna reverse the situation on Master Ninja.
>>724262754attack
>>724262538that's not what I meant
>>724262361Ninja Gaiden 4 also has the best ending sequence in any game ever made, pure SOUL. The developers truly loved developing this game.
>>724262754Hit faster
>>724262754Use a quick weapon and do long string or abuse i-frames.
They said Ryu fought the Dark dragon before but when? I know NG2 had a dragon fight
>>724261726>>724262185>>724262361So far NG4 feels Bingo Morihashi tier [perfect tokustatsu-core storytelling]The alltime best Character Action stories imo are>1: DMC5 The game paid off a 3 games worth of buildup in the perfect way, I fuckin' teared up when Nero grew wings and awakened his DT to save his family. >2: Bayonetta 2 The closed loop grandfather paradox reveal was pure fucking kino of the highest degree. I fucking SHAT myself during the clocktower sequence with Rosa>3: Ninja Gaiden 2It's independently great, the stakes and story are set and paid off extremely well and the Genshin rivalry B plot was kino, especially when you end the game with TDS and BotAF as dual wielded weapons. >>724262508Understood>>724262661Thanks.
>>724262972NG2 Dragon is the Dark Dragon and he also fights it in NG Dragon Sword for DS. The third kill seems to be something he did offscreen before NG4
>>724262525WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THIS IS FUN
>>724262652Mortal Blade makes small work of that twink sissy
>>724263058Thanks, I didn't play the DS game so I didn't know
>>724262539Sekiro? Not a chance.Sekiro 2 or a spiritual successor to Sekiro that becomes a pure action-game instead of an action-adventure that is intentionally kept simple and easy so that retard Miyazaki can play it? Perhaps.The best thing Miyazaki has done is allow FromSoftware directors to make games without him from now on. FromSoftware might finally make truly great games.
>>724261523Those seemed more like one off mcguyver’d things without much emphasis being placed on them versus Yakumos enter characterization being covered in head to toe with techwear. Nothing you listed was high tech at all and seemed more like something you could ignore using if you felt like it. It’s just apples and oranges. Those shuriken you mentioned btw seemed more like something ryu found and just took from the spider ninja and would use impulsively if they felt like it not something he showed up with. I never really understood the harpoon gun thing and I think many people would just agree NGB never needed a swimming level which is probably why they removed it in sigma. I have never played sigma but from what I understand that might be the only good choice that title made
>>724262856Smashing people into gravy with a rocket hammer has never filled with me with such serenity before. I felt truly content. Beautiful ending to a truly incredible game.
>>724262754use staff light attack
>>724263214>rocket hammerThis is monster hunter tier stuff, I don’t think it ever belonged in Ninja gaiden. What is a weapon tou could come up with which seems to be the opposite of what a ninja would use but also a melee weapon? Probably something really clumsy and slow like a hammer. It’s just a meme weapon same with the drill. this stuff would all be cool in a devil may cry game or something but I think platinum never gave a shit about trying to keep the vibe ninja orientated
>>724262856>>724263214DMC 3 has a better ending sequence and to a lesser degree DMC 5
>>724263207Game of the Year queer, dealwithit only Ninja Gaiden NES and Ninja Gaiden Black were the best games but keep coping all you can.
Yakumo is unironically better protagonist
>>724263395>Guy with magic weapon transmogification powers can conjure incredible sci-fi weaponsIt's kino
>>724263419How am I coping? I love Sekiro, but I love Ninja Gaiden 4 more, because Ninja Gaiden 4 is the superior game.If FromSoftware announces Sekiro 2 or a spiritual successor to Sekiro, I am pre-ordering that game.
>>724262539>Sekiro mogs all those games fight me
>>724263395Different weapon types are used to further distinguish Yakumo from the more traditionalist Ryu. It's a great way to make our lead character stand on his own since his arsenal is very memorable in any context. Most importantly, every weapon ends up being fun to use and serving a distinct purpose.
>>724262991DMC5 is automatically disqualified from being the best because of it's "somehow Vergil returned" plot.>awakened his DT to save his family.I will never understand the wanking that part gets. It's utterly stupid since Dante and Vergil have already "killed" each other who knows how many times by that point. In fact Nero himself skewered Dante with rebellion in the beginning of 4 so he should already know the guy isn't in any real danger of dying. I've always thought it felt contrived as fuck and that feeling hasn't changed since I played it on release.
Reminder that /v/ only likes Yakumo because he's an edgy twink.
No i didn't buy it. it looks like platinum slop and not ninja gaiden
>>724263781He isn't edgy, he is determined and very relatable, I love him.
>>724263770>DMC5 is automatically disqualified from being the best because of it's "somehow Vergil returned" plot.Wrong. They made it work perfectly fine, he was a loose thread in the background of 4. > It's utterly stupid since Dante and Vergil have already "killed" each other who knows how many times by that point.They built this up to the a grand finale and "for real this time". > In fact Nero himself skewered Dante with rebellion in the beginning of 4 so he should already know the guy isn't in any real danger of dyingAnon, DMC5 specifically takes time out to make sure we know Dante -isn't- immortal. He's his most vulnerable and mortal ever in DMC5 and that makes the stakes of the big clash up atop the qliphoth roots much more real.
>>724263781He's like all the pros of an edgelord character without the cons. Edgekino banter and style but mission focused and determined instead of angsty and whiny.
>>724264218>HmmphI smile when he says this.
>>724263395>>724263723>>724263723Seems like cope to me and bad taste, there are about 1000 games where you can use some variant of a hammer, there are not many games today where you can be a ninja. So why would I want to buy a game with the word ninja in the name when it’s making me use retarded magical shape shifting drills and hammers? That is completely autistic and retarded. I’m not saying that the idea of a drill or a hammer in a videogame is inherently bad, but from a design standpoint it has no reason to be here. it’s bad design plain and simple. As retarded as the hammer is I would argue the drill is somehow worse. Just drop the ninja gaiden title and make your own game at that point.
>>724263781He is an edgy twink but he's also based We haven't had a pure edge lord in a while now
>>724241937pirated it.too expensive.
>>724264218He sounds like he’s seething all the time and it sounds like someone reading a script trying to sound edgy because the person recording them asked them to retake the same line but to try and sound more upset and more irritated. Not organic or natural sounding at all.
People who prefer to play as Ryu rather than Yakumo are such retards lmao. On top of having more weapons, Yakumo even gets Ryu’s moveset. Platinum really sabotaged Ryu in this game kek
>>724264442>dubfaglol
>>724262287>>724262661Holy shit I get it now heavy is still a little tricky since it’s backwards. But you just release it at the sweet spot early on lights and you get the best crowd control shit. Hammer no longer shit to me
>>724264461Just wait for the DLC for GODbusa to show that twink how a real ninja fights
>>724264301Motherfucker, it's a Hollywood / Anime ninja, it always has been. Even a katana isn't a Ninja weapon. Ryu uses a lumbering western style greatsword in his first 3D game.
>>724260326You know you can turn those prompts off right? On my first playthrough I had no idea they even existed.
Dub or Sub?
>>724264478There has never been a ninja Gaiden game where people were coping saying it was intended to be played in Japanese before this. Itagaki flat out said it was made for western audiences. if you need to turn on the Japanese voice acting it’s another clue that they just did not give a fuck enough to make this a well polished game.
>>724264601Ez sub although I can't follow what they're yapping about when I'm on the rails
>>724259232If Code Vein got a sequel then SN still have a chance. Don't lose hope Nexusbros.
>>724264601Sub 100%. >Game about Japs made by Japs running around Japan doing Jap shitSub every time. >>724264630Sorry anon, you're coping. I played the whole Trilogy in Japanese and it was best that way.It was kindo funny/cool though>Looking up a video of Kurobo to show my wife his weird design>Find one that's dubbed>Worried I might cringe at Kurobo's Dub voice>Pleasantly surprised they kept him speaking JP as a Japanese mountain god.
>>724264442I think the actor did a good job. A lot of the times when talking with Seori / Umi / Tyran Yakumo just sounds under socialized. Like he's uncomfortable talking to someone he can't just slaughter.
>>724243962I wanted to hate him but he's very cool
>>724264574It’s too far removed to not be retarded. a ninja is usually depicted with some kind of sword, or another light and fast weapon. You can add a fantasy twist to this to an extend by making a larger weapon with a blade on it, and it can still work to a degree. But once you cross over to the realm of fuck it just give him a giant drill or a huge hammer it’s too far. that’s my stance on it. that isn’t even getting into the specifics of, if anyone in NG could use a fuck huge hammer, it would be ryu, not the guy who looks like he would break his arm from a fall. I’m sorry but the small details in a game matter. If you aren’t going to try and make a token effort to preserve a theme or any sense of coherent setting or atmosphere it’s just another lazy low effort slop franchise. of which we have 5k of.
>>724264492The first heavy is solid CC if you can't be assed to change to Takeminakata btw. Has crazy good damage and de-limb.
>>724264542man I hope so, even after being intentionally nerfed he’s still way cooler than that retarded twink, and his voice actor is still legendary
>>724262325To me Ninja Gaiden is LITERALLY Karas. The raven motif, the kanji executions, the transforming weapon... Even the glider matches the plane transformation. It's perfect. I dreamed of a Karas game since 2006 when I first watched it on DVD.>>724262991I still haven't played Bayonetta 2, but I think my current PC can emulate it. I need to give it a shot after I had my fill of Ninja Gaiden.>>724263781I respect Yakumo's strength.
>>724265041I first learned about Karas through a Gackt AMV. And to be honest, Ninka Gaiden itself feels like a "Gackt" series.
>>724264924This is you drawing an incredibly arbitrary line in the sand. It's fine if you personally don't jive with it but don't pretend you're actually making a solid point here.
>>724265041Nigga reminds me of Garo PS2.
>>724264630Ryu's JP combat lines were always way fucking better than the EN ones.
>>724264270>get to the pointWhen Yakumo said that, I fell in love with his character. Excellent addition to NG.
>>724264461Ryu is way stronger than Yakumo this game, hes busted as fuck
>>724252136Team Ninja are shit writers even for basic archetypes like that.Ryu was genuinely more expressive in the NES games back when videogame dialogue was an entirely new thing.Nioh is written in the most boring shit way too. Its why SoP mogged it so hard stylistically.
>>724265041>I need to give it a shot after I had my fill of Ninja Gaiden.Do it. It's a ton of fun and has my alltime favorite ROCKETO HAMMAH ever the Takemikazuchi. Possibly the most over the top heavy weapon I've ever used in a CAG.
>>724241937Too many expensive games and not enough time. I want to play this eventually though.
>>724264218The age of shit like Darker than Black is finally returning>>724264601Sub.Cons is not having lip sync, but pros is having the original script and better combat voices. Itagaki wanted dub to be the default but EN actors just can't get into hype combat noises.Only game of his that I preferred in english was Devil's Third, that one was fantastic, especially because the characters came from all around the world, so your russian MC has a russian accent, and so on. Great game.
>DUDE HERE'S A TUTORIAL >I KNOW YOU'VE PLAYED FOR 10 HOURS BUT BTW YOU CAN GO IN BLOODRAVEN FORM BY HOLDING DOWN LT>HOLD DOWN LT>YOU CAN GO IN BLOODRAVEN FORM>GO IN BLOODRAVEN FORM NOWSHUT THE FUCKKK UPPPP!!!
>>724265420??? you can disable it retard
>>724265286Though technically it doesn't have a booster, it's more of a pilepunker but the same thing, mechanically assisted hammers are COOLhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGYt_ysFlOE
>>724265264>Nioh is written in the most boring shit way too. Its why SoP mogged it so hard stylistically.We really need to put these final faggotry SoP subhumans down, they are becoming very annoying.
>>724265550dial with it, whyte boi.
>>724263941>They made it work perfectly fineYou really think the splitting nonsense is "perfectly fine?" Because that is one of these most ridiculous ways I've seen a character get brought back, even T8 revealing that Heihachi got saved at the last second by asspull monks was less retarded.>He's his most vulnerable and mortal ever in DMC5He's not. Urizen only ended up putting him to sleep and when he gets up he curbstomps the whole rest of the game. 3 did a far better job of showing that with the first Vergil fight fakeout death and him getting btfo'd a good bit throughout by other bosses like Beowulf and Jester/Arkham.>much more realNone of the stakes felt legit at all and I don't know how gullible you must have been to have fallen for any of that bullshit. All that said I prefer bullshit stakes to actually killing the MC like Bayo 3 did. I'm overall just saying that all these things keep 5 far from being the best storywise, 3 is still far better.
>>724265469>DUUDEEE JUST WASTE ALL THIS TIME AND EFFORT TO TURN OFF 24/7 TUTORIALS kys retard, can I turn off the yellow brick road too? faggot
>>724265682>You really think the splitting nonsense is "perfectly fine?"Yes. > Because that is one of these most ridiculous ways I've seen a character get brought backHe wasn't gone. They can't bring him back if he wasn't gone. DMC4 proved he was still around. > Urizen only ended up putting him to sleeplol, you're too autstic to appreciate genre writing.
>>724265126How is it arbitrary? It’s common sense. An established archetype can only be bent so far before it no longer resembles itself or has the same appeal or draw. from a common sense standpoint as I already mentioned before, a ninja weapon can be tweaked somewhat to be more fantastical, but only so far before it no longer fits the setting or character. There is nothing arbitrary about a 100 pound twink who is supposed to be a ninja probably not needing to have a fuck huge monster hunter hammer. You arguing against that is just you plugging your fingers in your ears saying lahlahlahlahlah which is fine. I dont care enough to argue past this.
>>724265232>I'll fill you in later... Proceeding with the mission...The exact moment he became my GOAT. I liked him plenty before but his silent resolve resonated strongly with me.
>>724265420That's not a tutorial, that's the on screen buttons, you can disable that while still keeping tutorials on in case an actually new mechanic shows up. They call it "button guide" in the settings I think. First thing I disabled along with the ring that shows where enemies are on screen.>>724265471Looks cool, I almost bought a WiiU for this game, but the reception favoring 1 over it made me end up giving up on the idea. Listened to the theme songs so many times, I love the game's look too.Only played 1 on the 360 though, I should go through my Steam version before emulating 2 as well. One of my favorite games.

>>724265778>you're too autstic to appreciate genre writingand you're either too stupid or too esl to spell autistic right. Which explains a lot about why you think 5's plot is the best.
>>724265953Yeah playing the steam version is cool. The Wii U version is technically more "Definitive" though. >Updated model for Jeanne to make her a flattie like she's supposed to be>Small "lore" change to a specific environment>Unlockable Zelda/Peach/Daisy costumes with cool shit like Bowser wicked weaves I haven't actually emulated it though, I wonder if emulated B1 for Wii U looks as good as basic steam B1 when both are native 4k.
I've been shitposting the game since it came out but I love it, very good very fun I can see myself putting in multiple runs. On top of NGB2 we are eating real fucking good.
>>724241937Dmc wonNinja gaiden 'fans' are all frauds
>>724265852It's arbitrary because a ninja using an unwieldly impractical fantasy weapon to kill dozens is fine for you. A scythe is probably one of the most retarded things to try to kill shit with, far more so than a giant drill or a hammer. Again, having a modern / futuristic twist on these is just giving Yakumo his own style instead of just giving him weapons that Ryu would use instead, and it isn't out of place for the setting which has plenty of random sci fi bullshit.
>>724242314Dante was well-written in ONE game. Outside of DMC3, he's a clown without purpose or arc

>>724266753This.Just gave Yakumo all the fancy high tech shit, it fits himRyu is "The old ways are best" person.
They should’ve had a grey fox suit
>>724266895Now judge him for the entire game instead of awkwardly translated 2000s Japanese dialog into english by an underpaid translator
>>724266993I do
>>724266895Hes less goofy in 1 than he is in 3.Where do you think the wacky pizza man shit comes from? That's all Itsunos doing.
>>724267069Y'know that does kinda sound like something Sonic the hedgehog would say.
Yakumo is way more fun than dmc4 Nero to me and it’s not even close.
>>724267089sure
>>724265852Ryu was already swinging greathammers and greatswords in NGB
>>724267089stop browsing 4chan Kamiya and work on that Okami 2
>>724267314That's meant to be a serious scene though, are you autistic?
>>724262361The only story moment I liked in NG4 was Seori hating herself and being ashamed for resurrecting the dark dragon, but Ryu encourages her and convinces her to keep living. Seori wonders why he would care about her, and Ryu gives a straight forward non-answer, but real n words know that she reminds him of Kureha. Props to Seori's voice actress because she did really well at alternating between how she talks to Ryu and Yakumo (but only in the Japanese version).
